Bewildering Stories welcomes...

C. M. Fields

C. M. lives in South Bend, Indiana and has the main occupations of shoveling snow and writing a dissertation in astrophysics on the history of stars.

“A Brief History of Us” takes its title from Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time and, as a lyrical essay, expresses delight in physical existence. The law of the conservation of energy tells us that we are not only “stardust,” we — and everything else — are progeny of the Big Bang.

Readers — be they cosmologists or other — may wonder whether the universe poses a question or is the answer to a question. For example, a Prime Mover may have pondered the meaning of existence. Mr. or Ms. Mover triggers the Big Bang and says, “Here, you tell me.” Hence a motto of Bewildering Stories: “There is no story so truly Bewildering as reality.”
